American Idealist: The Story of Sargent Shriver

American Idealist: The Story of Sargent Shriver

A very interesting documentary that focuses on Sargent Shriver, JFK's brother-in-law, and provides insights into the Kennedy administration, the dynamics within it and more generally, the time period we are discussing.
Shriver also came to be McGovern's running mate in the 1972 presidential election, thus more directly linking him to the man himself, Richard Nixon.
